Why This Division I Lacrosse Player Switched to Goon Guard

Author: Dr. Monroe Elkin, BS PHARM., DMD

Published: May 14, 2025

Why Ava Angello, D1 Lacrosse Player, Switched to Goon Guard

“Honestly, it’s the best mouthguard I have ever worn.”


In the fast-paced, high-contact world of Division I lacrosse, communication and comfort are everything. That’s why Ava Angelo, a top-tier athlete, made the switch to Goon Guard this season. Here’s why she says it’s a game-changer:


1. Easy to Talk

  • “Communication is key for our team on the field.”

  • Goon Guard’s slim, custom fit lets Ava call plays and coordinate defense without the mouthguard slipping or getting in the way.


2. Perfect Fit and Lock-in

  • “It fits perfectly and stays locked in.”

  • No annoying adjustments, no slipping — just reliable protection every play.


3. All-Day Comfort

  • “It’s super comfortable and doesn’t irritate your gums.”

  • Designed with a soft yet durable material that won’t cut your lips or scrape your gums, even during intense play.

What Makes Goon Guard the Best Lacrosse Mouthguard?


According to sports safety experts, the best lacrosse mouthguard is one that offers a custom, secure fit and allows players to breathe, speak, and drink easily during intense gameplay.


Why Goon Guard Stands Out:

  • Custom Microwave Fit: Form your Goon Guard mouthguard at home for a perfect, snug fit in minutes.

  • Braces-Friendly Design: Comfortable, non-irritating fit over metal brackets.

  • 2x Impact Absorption: Scientifically tested to reduce impact by 2x vs traditional mouthguards.

  • Multiple Colors and Personalization: Match your team colors or print your number and name for a personal touch.

Athletic Experts Trust Goon Guard

Richard Mariani

President of South Florida Orthodontics

For years I have struggled with poorly fitting mouthguards for patients wearing braces. This new guard fits more like a custom-made guard made off of an impression.

Dr. Tom Lenz

Dentist

With a product like this I don’t know if I will ever see a reason to go through the time consuming and expensive process of custom fabricating mouthguards on study models for amateur athletes in my office ever again.

Shannon Peel, MA ATC

Associate Director for Athletic Training, Iowa State University

We have formed 103 mouthguards thus far for our football players. All have gone well and players like them. I will encourage all our other sports to use it.

Phil Hossler, ATC

National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) Hall of Fame

For anyone who has gone through their share of the ‘boil and bite’ mouthguards, here’s one brand that is affordable, quick and easy to fit, that allows you to speak clearly and drink fluids without any difficulty.

Gaudhi De Sedas

Rutgers University Football

I think this is a great product given that it does absolutely everything you ask it to do, and it does not obstruct one at all, keeping one’s mind in the game not the equipment.
